Meet the Photographers

The “Couple” behind the Lens

We are a husband and wife team who are passionate about love, commitment, and priceless moments! We absolutely love capturing images that tell the story of love and laughter, romance and quiet moments. When we aren’t out using our cameras, you will find us spending time with our two sons ~ our blessings and our pride and joy! Watching them mature and become more independent (one is in college, the other in high school) is both rewarding and bittersweet! Want to know a fun fact?? Both Tommy and I were born at the same hospital and we had both our boys in that same hospital?! Kind of cool considering most who live in Atlanta are from other states!

We love hiking and dreaming about our next vacation adventures, whether it’s to some tropical location like the Bahamas or St. Thomas or exploring the beauty out west. We experienced the blue Montana skies this past summer and were amazed by the beauty of Yellowstone National Park and Jackson Hole, Wyoming… there is such splendor in this world and we are so blessed to experience it with our loved ones!!

A Closer Look into the Life of Lorena

I’m a simple person, my greatest joy can be found within my home and the great outdoors as long as they include my family.

I am a lover of the midnight hour, something magical happens – both my sons actually communicate with me! We have had some of our best conversations in the middle of the night and I treasure those moments. We have a third “baby”, our sweet dog Toby, who is so much fun! The unconditional love he shows us each and every time we come home is so amazing … dogs are the best!

Walking down the beach hand in hand with my husband, listening to the waves roll in, always brings me happiness. We spent our honeymoon in Panama City and it became tradition to take our boys with us to the exact same resort every year thereafter. We have so many happy memories from those awesome vacations! We’ve branched out a little on our vacations and this past summer we chose to explore Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons and it simply took my breath away with it’s beauty. We will most definitely be going back!

Music makes me so happy and I love nothing more than a good hike with some tunes playing through our portable speaker. And, through our boys my taste in music has broadened a good bit. I now thoroughly enjoy barbershop music, yes that’s actually still a thing (who knew, right??). And I’m a big fan of Broadway musicals as well … I love being exposed to new things!

Serving others also makes me happy, it’s actually what I thrive on. Doing for others feeds my soul and it’s what I’m meant to do. I will serve you with joy and a smile on your cherished day – your wedding day. I look forward to sharing in your happiness and creating memories that will last a lifetime!!

Getting to know Tommy

When it comes to writing about yourself, where does one ever begin? Am I the only one that thinks this task is one of the hardest things on the planet to write about?

Well, I guess I should start by letting everyone know that I have always been in the Information Technology field, so just think of me as the nerdy type. Wait, before your mind takes you there, let me let you know right now that I don’t have a pocket protector and I don’t live in the basement of my mother’s house! Now hold onto that thought, I am going to come back to this later.

I love the outdoors and as you can imagine, I love taking family hikes and sitting at the edge of a stream, a waterfall, a lake or better yet, the ocean! After all, “I was born in the sign of water, and it is there that I feel my best!”. For those that might be too young to know the song, it is all about making a Cool Change which is why I wanted you to hold onto the IT thought earlier. My love for photography comes from my need to express myself and be around people. I am a people person at heart, so I love to meet and chat with just about anyone. Since my IT career hasn’t allowed my artistic side to come out, it really was time to make a Cool Change!

I truly have been very blessed in life! My wife is amazing and I can’t imagine my life without her. As she mentioned above, we have raised two boys that have now grown into young men. They really have made us proud along the entire journey. We have captured many of the memories with photography, so believe me when I say, we absolutely understand the importance of capturing the special memories that will last a lifetime in the weddings we shoot!

As promised, here is the link to the song Cool Change by the Little River Band.
